A Close Game.

lNDIANAPoLIs, IND, April 2S,-The
opening game between the Indian
apolis and Detroit clubs at Athletic
Park today was witnessed by 1900
people. During the whole OF the after
noon the wind was 80 strong as to
carry batted ball from forty to fifty
feet out OF its natural line, and this In
8 measure accounts for the low score.
Many high hits directly against the
wind, which would otherwise have
yielded two or three bases, barely
went past the infeld. The Indian
apolis made one run in the first In
ming, the Detroits one in the third
and fourth, and the indianapolis one
in the fifth, tieing the game. The next
run Was made by the Dstroits In the
seventh, giving them the lead, but the
Indianapolis made another run in the
ninth, again tieing the score and win
ming the applause OF the spectators.
In the last half Of the ninth the De-
troit', on base hits by Bennett, Bald
win and Rowe, secured the fourth
run and won the game. Score: De-
troit, 4; Indianapolis, 3.

audience OF 500 people instead Of 1000.
The pitching ana fielding Of Maui for
the Nashville team was the especial
feature. 1t is not too much to say that
his work has b6 c a rarely excelled since
the new rules we're adopted. 1t was
an enigma to the Brown Stockings
from beginning TO end, and be never
gave a sign OF wavering, even at the
most critical moments. Although
six errors are charged against
the locale, two of which are
credited to Maui, the team supported
him in superb style, and clearly
captured the game by playing all
around their opponents. Nicholas not
only did splendidly behind the bat, but
his throwing to bases was in the n ain
accurate and steady. Bradley was
veritable stone wall at third, while
Firle carried eff the honors at the
initial bag. The outfelders all won
applause by their brilliant work,

like very safe hits. Burks did fairly
at short field, but he and Mannion are
still little prone to becoming ratified
at critical junctures. The miserable
playing OF Sneed at short ON the pre-
vious day caused the rearrsDge-
ment CT the team. The man
with the weak lungs known
to fame as Capt. Sneed went to

hand at short. 1t is tafe to say that

ESPECIAL To THE IppRAII

NEW ORLEANS, La, April 28.--The
quickest, prettiest and most exciting
game of the season was played today,
aud New Orleans sustained its first de-
feat in the league series. There were
over 5000 people present, including
many Ladies. Neither pitcher was hit
hard and both were magnifi Gently sup
ported. Three New Orleans men hit
double baggers and were left on bases.
The locals had men on third in the
first, second, sixth and eighth innings,
but could not reach the plate. Charles
ton did not even get "a far as second
until the seventh inning, Powell and
Wells being too much for them. Up
to this time the game had been we'll
nigh errorless. Then Powell hit
safe, Williams's foul fly wss muffed
by Wells and he went TO third.
Pujol threw to second for a double
play from Geiss, Powell getting third
and Williams second. Carl hit to
Powell, who threw him out at fret,
but Powell slid in with the only run
for the Charlestons as Cartwright
threw the ball home. Carl tried to
get home in exactly the same way
but was cut off by a double play.
Glenn's lightning work in left field
prevented New Orleans from scoring
several times. The crowd could not
find the heart to blame the boys for
defeat after such a game, and entirely
forgsve them when the news OF Nash
ville's victory was received. The fol.
lowing was the score:

ST. LOUIS, NO., April 2s.-Cleveland
braced up today and played excellently
against the champions, and though
defeated, gave them a hard fight.
King, the Browns new pitcher, occu-
pied the box, and for six innings was
very effective. He showed signs OF
weakness in the seventh inning, and
was pounded for two singles, a home
run, and sent two men TO bases on
balls and hit one man, ON which five
runs were scored. In the eighth
Hotalipg made home a home run
and in the ninth YVES hit hard for two
singles and double. RobiDson's right
arm was sore and he covered right

center. The combination worked " ell,
and some remarkable playing was
doneby them. The best features Of
the game were Welch's remarkable
running catches, Neill's brilliant hit
ting and the home run drives by
Hotaling and Mann aud the magnifi-
cent base running Of the champions.
A high wind prevailed and the game
abounded in sky scrapers About

NEW YORK, April 2S.-The League
season was opened at the polo grounds
today, but the immenss crowd that
was expected to be present at the New
York Philadelphia game was deferred
from going by the threatening, even
rainy weather. Not more than 1000
people went to the grounds. The
grounds were damp, but not enough
to prevent good playing. Rain began
to fall toward the close, and on its &C.
count the anne was called after the
eighth inning. The home clCb won
by superior play at the bat after a
game that, under favorable surround
ings, would have kept the crowd in
excitement all the way through. Nc.

work. He caught two running flies
Just of the ground, and another that
ne had to run for far out in the field,
and grabbed 1t over his head. Conner
and Ward also distinguished them
selves. score--New York, 4; Phila-
